Salina South High School has lost power in its 200 and 300 pods because of heavy rain and construction, according to a news release from Jennifer Bradford Vernon, public information director for the Salina School District.

However, Bradford Vernon indicated there is no safety issue and lights are operating.

"Depending upon their lessons and instructional plans teachers in the 200 and 300 pods have the option of moving their classes to an alternate location inside the building," according to a release.

Kris Upson, executive director of school district operations, said there is no safety concern.

Teachers who are on their planning hours have offered the use of their classrooms to colleagues in the affected pods.

Principal Curtis Stevens said that with the flexibility of staff and students, everyone will get through the day.

Lunch service won't be affected, according to the news release, and after-school activities will proceed as planned.
